So, if a ban on using a hands free phone is to be promoted, chatting to passengers should also face a ban. Next thing it'll be proposed that the driver should be in a separate compartment of his own so he can't interact with any passengers?
One ban doesn't necessitate the other - that's using the argument that A is dangerous, B is dangerous, if I stop A I MUST also stop B - no you don't have to, it might be advisable to but they are separate 'dangers' that can be dealt with separately.
If that argument were to be used in all walks of life then nothing would ever get done!
I am of the generation that remembers the time when drinking and driving was socially acceptable - well using the inverse of your argument, if we don't ban the use of mobile phones then we shouldn't ban drinking and driving.
